How Is This Not Heaven?

Poem

By Paul CrockerPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

There are things in this world beyond my belief.

A million and one images to horde away grief.

The excitement they bring and the delight they ensure.

I doubt another realm could be as pure.

How is this not heaven?

Take nature, for example, a great place to start.

The colours, the sounds in every single part.

A beautiful scene to inspire every muse.

An endless array of artistry for us to use.

How is this not heaven?

The foods we make or are naturally grown.

Sensations in our mouths that have our minds blown.

Different flavours for our taste buds to explore.

It is no wonder that we always want more.

How is this not heaven?

A loving person to share your life with.

To create the happiest of memories is such a gift.

Laughing, crying, and orgasming as one.

We always help each other not to run.

How is this not heaven?
